Absolutely:

• Odysee
• Peertube
• Dailymotion
• Floatplane
• Patreon
• Bitchute
• Nebula
• Rumble
• Spotify
• Apple

etc. Are there good alternatives? mmmmmmmno, not really.

It’s not an alternative to YouTube. Its just a YouTube player (among many other platforms).

On the one hand, it’s really great, and feature rich, and extremely important in the vein of improving competition in the space. On the other hand, YT is constantly pulling new tricks to break it (and similar apps), to the extent that it’s almost completely useless.

The devs are careful to point out that it’s Alpha software, however it’s been Alpha software for a long while now, which doesn’t fill me with confidence.

Microsoft is subject to US authority because they’re a US-based business. Meaning the gov can fine them or take away their business license or demand access to information they have stored, or any number of other things that Linux is simply not subject to, because they’re not a business and don’t store any user data at all.

You skipped my question: How exactly are the US-based stewards of Linux development subject to US authority?

How are they?

Linux has developers from all sorts of countries. But then, so do Windows and macOS.

Microsoft and Apple are subject to US authority. Linux is not.

it’s not going to underperform the base 17

It did.

You think Linux is an American product?

Who could have seen this coming!?

for some reason.

Several reasons, really.

Instead of 1TB, the updated digital version of the base PS5 now comes with an 825GB SSD

So Sony saved themselves like…$10?

I still think it’s fucked up that CDPR and so many others have a “release it now, fix it later” mentality, but yes, at least they owned it.

Our country is founded on “terrorism”. Ask the British.

I see a lot of liberals openly advocating for suppression of speech while clearly not understanding the ramifications of such actions.

Gabe not even noticing from 1 of his 6 superyachts

I think they would be better of by just ignoring

I mean the best thing they could do is to acknowledge that the game could use some optimization and promise to continue working on it. Even if they have no intention of doing so. But that might get them in trouble with Nvidia since they slapped an “Nvidia optimized” badge on it.

The worst thing they could do is say “buy a better PC”.

When I was on Reddit I use to nuke my account completely every 12 months or so, so I cannot relate…

Doing just like Spotify, filling it with AI nonsense and promoting it, that way they don’t have to pay creators.

It won’t directly affect them because they will not be “Google Certified” devices.
